Title: Parking near CG
Post by: swindonremo on Thursday, April 6, 2017, 21:09:50
Where's the best place to park for free near the County Ground? Is Tesco Extra still 3 hours free parking, or is it easier to park in a street near? Don't really want to park in the CG's car park/fire station/st. joes. Basically, somewhere free and quick to leave from. Cheers

Tesco still three hours, often a long wait to get out though.  The two car parks in Gorse Hill are free, just a little longer to walk but easy to get out of.

Tesco's every time - just make sure you park in the right place to get out relatively quickly (near the car wash.....) :toocool:

Nearby street parking is permit only unless you park in Walcot or Old Walcot

if you want a 15 min walk then Gorse hill has a free  car park next to and also opposite to Swiss Chalet.

does have advantage of making you walk past Robins chippy (£2 match day special sausage and chips)

depends which way out of swindon you need. does get a bit busy up to the moonies roundabout by the time you get back to the car.

Merlin carpark always has spaces if you get there early enough (Before 12.30). Charges a couple quid, which goes to some charity, but it's easier to get away than Tescos.
